Please be advised, that the boil water order issued on June 9, 2019 remains in effect. The order was issued as a precaution due to low chlorine residuals.

Residents are advised that all water use for consumption such as drinking, brushing teeth, cooking, and washing fruits and vegetables should brought to a rigorous, rolling boil for one minute.

This advisory will be in effect until the Town completes the repairs and receives three consecutive approved water samples.
